Product details
Overview
74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 from Texas Instruments is a 2-bit, dual-supply bus transceiver enabling bidirectional voltage-level translation between 1.2V–3.6V domains (e.g., 1.8V ↔ 3.3V), with 3-state outputs, active bus-hold on all data inputs, and VCCA/VCCB isolation. It supports up to 500Mbps data rate in 1.8V→3.3V mode and operates across –40°C to +85°C for smartphone I/O bridging and server memory interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 datasheet, 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 pinout, 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 application, or 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail supply flexibility (VCCA/VCCB = 1.2–3.6V), 4.6V I/O tolerance, partial power-down (Ioff), and NanoFree™ DCT package compatibility with high-density portable PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 implements asynchronous bidirectional data flow controlled solely by the DIR input referenced to VCCA - low enables B→A transmission, high enables A→B transmission. Its two independent supply rails allow simultaneous operation at mismatched voltages (e.g., VCCA = 1.8V, VCCB = 3.3V), with level-shifted output logic levels strictly tracking their respective VCC rail.
Active bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic states on un-driven A1/A2/B1/B2 inputs without external resistors, while VCC isolation forces both ports into high-impedance when either VCCA or VCCB = GND. The Ioff specification (±5µA max) ensures safe back-current blocking during partial power-down sequences in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.2V to 3.6V each - enables universal translation among 1.2V/1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V logic domains |
| Max Data Rate | 500Mbps (1.8V→3.3V) - supports high-speed interconnects in mobile SoC-to-peripheral links |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 4.6V - allows safe interfacing with legacy 3.3V or 5V-tolerant signals without clamping diodes |
| Ioff Current | ±5µA max - prevents damaging backflow current when one supply is powered down |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±100µA min sustaining - eliminates need for external pull resistors on floating data lines |
| Propagation Delay | 2.4ns typical (A→B, VCCA=3.3V/VCCB=3.3V) - meets timing budgets in sub-ns-critical DDR control paths |
| ESD Rating | ±8kV HBM - satisfies IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 system-level ESD robustness requirements |
Pinout & Package
74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 uses the DCT package: 8-pin SSOP, 2.95mm × 4.00mm body, 0.65mm pitch, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VCCA | Supply rail for A-side I/Os | Powers A1/A2 outputs and sets their logic-high voltage; accepts 1.2–3.6V |
| 2 A1 | Data I/O (A port) | Bidirectional signal path; output level tracks VCCA, input threshold references VCCA |
| 3 A2 | Data I/O (A port) | Identical function to A1; supports dual-bit parallel translation |
| 4 GND | Ground reference | Common return for both supply rails; required for bus-hold and Ioff functionality |
| 5 DIR | Direction control input | Referenced to VCCA; low = B→A, high = A→B; no OE pin required |
| 6 B2 | Data I/O (B port) | Bidirectional signal path; output level tracks VCCB, input threshold references VCCB |
| 7 B1 | Data I/O (B port) | Identical function to B2; completes 2-bit transceiver pair |
| 8 VCCB | Supply rail for B-side I/Os | Powers B1/B2 outputs and sets their logic-high voltage; accepts 1.2–3.6V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail level shifting | Independent VCCA/VCCB supplies enable simultaneous 1.2V↔3.3V translation without external components |
| Active bus-hold | Maintains stable logic state on unterminated A1/A2/B1/B2 pins - eliminates board space and BOM cost of pull resistors |
| VCC isolation | Forces high-Z on both ports if either VCCA or VCCB = GND - prevents false logic injection during power sequencing |
| Partial power-down (Ioff) | Blocks back-current when one rail is off - critical for hot-swap and dynamic power gating in servers and notebooks |
| NanoFree™ packaging | DCT package uses die-as-package construction - reduces footprint by >40% vs. standard SSOP, improves thermal resistance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2T45DCTRG4 | Lower max data rate (420Mbps), no bus-hold, 3.6V max VCC only | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer designs where bus-hold is not required | Select when 1.2V–3.6V dual-rail flexibility is needed but 500Mbps and bus-hold are optional |
| TXS0102DCUR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin), higher ICC, 1.65–3.6V VCCA/VCCB range | Better for I²C/SMBus where direction is data-dependent; less suitable for GPIO/control lines | Choose for bidirectional serial buses needing zero-firmware direction control; avoid for deterministic DIR-driven paths |

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 support on its VCCA and VCCB supplies?
The 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 supports independent supply voltages from 1.2V to 3.6V on both VCCA and VCCB pins. This enables translation between any combination of standard low-voltage domains including 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V - verified across all operating conditions in TI's SCES582I datasheet.
How does the DIR pin control data direction in the 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4?
The DIR pin on the 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 is referenced to VCCA: a logic low (≤0.35×VCCA) enables data flow from B-port to A-port, while a logic high (≥0.65×VCCA) enables A-port to B-port transmission. No external pull-up/down is needed - the internal bus-hold maintains valid state when DIR is un-driven.
Does the 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its data lines?
No. The 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all four data I/Os (A1, A2, B1, B2), which maintains valid logic states on un-driven or floating lines. TI explicitly advises against adding external pull resistors, as they conflict with bus-hold operation and degrade noise margin.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4, and under what conditions?
The 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 achieves up to 500Mbps when translating from 1.8V (VCCA) to 3.3V (VCCB). Lower rates apply for other combinations: 320Mbps (<1.8V→3.3V), 320Mbps (→2.5V/1.8V), 280Mbps (→1.5V), and 240Mbps (→1.2V), all specified in the official TI datasheet SCES582I.
How does VCC isolation function in the 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 during power sequencing?
VCC isolation in the 74AVCH2T45DCTTG4 ensures that if either VCCA or VCCB is driven to GND (e.g., during power-down), both A-port and B-port outputs immediately enter high-impedance state - preventing false logic assertion on either bus. This behavior is guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C and requires no external circuitry.
